Stupid compiler error

[rollasoc]

Hi,

Made me laugh so I though I'd share this.

short i = 32;
short j = 1;
short k = i + j;

gives an error
Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'short'

That is a bit poo in my reckoning...

at least the following compiles.

short k = (short)(i + j);

Hello, rollasoc!

r> short i = 32;
r> short j = 1;
r> short k = i + j;

int k = i + j; // Ok

Re: Stupid compiler error

You will get the same if you try

byte = byte + byte;

I wonder why

Re: Stupid compiler error

Indeed true

but that won't work when I the call a C++ function expecting a short.
